Well

local SHELL service station now has No E10 unleaded pumps..

Only Shell UNLEADED + ethanol ...

they have leaflets saying that all shell unleaded petrol is now UNLEADED + ethanol..

it also says on the leaflet -

NOT SUITABLE FOR MARINE CRAFT OR GARDEN EQUIPMENT

Now that should be on every pump with Ethanol... IMHO...

PS: I switched to 95 SHELL today...

Not at the moment...
they are saying 10%... but the word change means it can change at any time to a higher amount... lol

LEE

the leaflet tells of cars that can't use ethanol fuel..

which includes ALL Yamaha Suzuki Kawasaki and Honda
Motorcycles...

BOGAS stations years ago who sold fuel with 3% ethanol
had signs about the fibreglass tanks on motorcycles.
and not to put ethanol fuel in them,..

Who would use fibreglass fuel tanks????? LEE
